Oysterhead on Conan
by Kinetic Kid 17 Nov '01

17 Nov '01

I Just wanted to say that Stewart kicked ass. I found that the bass wasn't loud enough, but the overall sound was pretty good. Les and Trey seemed a bit nervous during there performance, Stewart was more confortable during his performance. I recorded it with a digital signal and when i heard the result on my sound system the result was amazing! I will make an mp3 and post it on my website soon and possibly make an mpeg for those who wanted to watch it in the first place. Cheerios !

guitar players
by cia-agent 17 Nov '01

17 Nov '01

Hi folks, being a big fan I wanted to be able to play some of my favourite police songs on guitar, the one that gives me most grief is "so lonely" the chords are ok but its the little riffs at the end of each verse. I have a TAB book but its geared for 2 or 3 guitars which is a bit silly when there is only 1 player in the live situation. anyway just wondered if any of you guys out there who may play have any good little riffs that fit in easily at the end of each verse. cheers............paul (UK)

Review of Tonights Tuscany Tv Broadcast in the UK
by Jeremy . 17 Nov '01

17 Nov '01

Hey Folks, Tonight UK Channel 4 broadcast a one hour special of the Tuscany concert. The broadcast 12 songs, and all songs were from the concert on the 11th, none of the songs from the 10th were used. The only noticeable oddity is that at the end of Fragile, the used the crowd clapping from the end of 1000 years and Perfect love to cover over the minute of silence that happened on the night. Before any of you suggest that they may have used a fragile recording from the show on the 10th, I could quite clearly see Fred, Debs, Me, Giovanni, Lydia, Paul and Andy, Dave and Wendy, Tina, DoreenWanda all clapping at that time..and believe me, it was just an edit. Tracks they included were Fragile All this time Dont stand so close to me When we dance Dienda Roxanne If you love somebody set them free Brand New Day Fields of gold Shape of my heart If I ever lose my faith Every breath you take Was very good stuff indeed Jer _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Thanks for the post. I fell asleep on the opening credits! I can't believe it. I knew I should have stuck a tape in just in case. Guess I'll have to wait for the reruns!

Hi! The Argentine version of ATT (rest of the world track list) comes with a small magazine (just a few photographs). The "S" of "Sting" is golden. What colour is it in other versions of the rest of the world? Fabiana

VH1 special
by csloan 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Dear Everyone, I also submitted a tape to the VH1 special. I don't know if any of my tape will be used as I never heard back from them about it, but as I am in Switzerland now, with no access to VH1, I would appreciate it if someone would look for me on the show! Probably if they show any of me it would be of my Ghost in the Machine tattoo, which was the main reason they were interested in me I think. Ciao, Courtney

"Oysterhead much more than leftover Phish" Review from Boston Globe.
by Stingfan222＠aol.com 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Sorry I didn't post this when I said I was going to... By Steve Morse, Globe Staff. 11/11/01 Lowell-The Phish tribes descended on Tsongas Arena Saturday, looking to catch Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio's latest project, Oysterhead. It's a grass-roots "supergroup" with bassist Les Claypool (of Primus fame), and drummer Stewart Copeland (formerly of the Police). The talent speaks for itself, and despite a few rough spots, the music did not disappoint. Fans had to wait up to 45 minutes outside while dealing with the rigorous security checks, that are a sad fact of life since Sept. 11. But once inside, the sold-out, 7,000-plus crowd-the largest on Oysterhead's debut tour-heard a band that rocked harder than expected (definitely harder than its album, "The Grand Pecking Order") and suggested a bright future if they can keep it going. (Anastasio will release a solo album next year and tour next summer as a solo act, which would appear to put Oysterhead, and Phish, on hold.) Oysterhead has played some cover songs on tour (including The Who's "My Generation" and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song"), but stuck solely to Oysterhead tunes in Lowell. However, they extended some with new jams and twists that put more fire in them, thanks especially to Copeland, whose presence has grown since the songs were recorded rather spontaneously in Anastasio's barn in Burlington, Vt. Copeland still has the difficult task of merging the two distinct styles of Anastasio's hippie-psychedelia and Claypool's eccentric, funk-bottom grooves-but he is now doing it with more authority. Copeland basically took the band and drove it like and express train, unleashing a rhythmic torrent that dwarfed almost anything he did in the Police. After composing artsy film scores in recent years, Copeland seemed ecstatic to be rocking again. This felt more like a true ensemble show, rather than the bits-and-pieces feel of the CD. The show started aggressively with "Pseudo Suicide" (with Zeppelin-like soloing by Anastasio) and "Owner of the World," which went from a John Lee Hooker boogie to a Dead-like jam. That was followed by the tongue-in cheek "Army's on Ecstasy" ("It's hard to kill the enemy on 'ol MDMA," Anastasio sang wryly) and Claypool's satirical "Grand Pecking Order." Some of the show got too cutesy ("Rubberneck Lions") but it was a solid, thumbs-up performance overall. "Oz is Ever Floating" paid homage to psychedelic researcher Dr. John C. Lilly, and "Wield the Spade" had Anastasio playing his custom guitar with antlers on it (he calls it "the Matterhorn") to trippy effect. And opening act Lake Trout played a set with a musical scope that mirrored Oysterhead's own adventurousness.
